I'm in Indiana for the summer. To be perfectly honest, if someone told me I was still upstate I'd probably believe them. I look out the back window into some woods, mostly maple with some beech and others. Steve and I hiked up a creek and ended up in someone's back yard on Tuesday. The weather has been mostly beautiful. The apartment is kinda small, but it's homey.

The trip here was supposed to take 10 hours if you believe MapQuest, but I figured if we made a decent pace we could cover it in nine. Aparently ever road crew between the Pennsylvania border and Indianapolis heard about our plan and decided to mess it up. Driving through Ohio was mostly spend in construction zones. There would be 10 miles of reduced speed with one lane, and about fifty feet of work going on. It was just like home.

Somewhere in the middle of Ohio we encountered what is probably the classiest McDonald's in the world. They were playing classical music. There were little vases with fake flowers on every table. There was even a faux fireplace! I was reminded of the movie Demolition Man where every restaurant is Taco Bell. I'm just glad they're not like that back home. I'm not sure if people would know what to do with themselves.

I started this post on the 7th of June. It is now the 6th of July. Read up. I'll update again eventually, I promise.
